BOXER, Esq., cretary Union League, Chestnut, . above Twelfth street, Philadelphia." SIMON CAMERON, A. W. I.32NEDICT, wunf Folimr. ,. , Secretaries. Chairman' IF WE FAIL now in the election of LlN cowl, - what will all our victories be worth ? DEMOCRATS OR PENNSYLVANIA : There is room and occasion for pause. Your re sponsibility for the safety of the nation is not less than that of your opponents. Op position to an individual may be proper, but not • opposition to the national honor and safety. Te 7 day the Government has pe come identified with the cause dear to every patriot ; the Chicago platform, by accept ing a rebel basis, has made this identity. all the stronger. The question is one of principles,,and not men. Those principles contain the life and the death of American nationality—peace in the interest of war, and the recognition of Southern indepen dence, or war in the 'interest' of a 'speedy peace and the restoration of the Union. The, TO-election of ABRAHAM LINCOLN is already assured—your votes are required to assure the South that rebellion can find no willing ally in the people of the - North; and to make the conquest of peace a speedy event, rise superior to elan, faction, or party, and take the only choice before the judgment 'of patriotic men. Save the party by saving the nation I Restore it to the principles of JEFFERSON and JAcksox, by repudiating its destroyers, ,and taking side with the leaders of its regeneration I VOTERS OF LER3III bear in mind that one of the leaders of the present miscalled Democracy is Wm - Lux B. REED, the au thor of the famous " Lehigh-muse-do-better" bribery and corruption letter. Are you pre pared to follow him? VOTERS OF BERES 1 suppose your noble and gifted _HENRY A. MUHLENBERG, the "pet" of the heroic jACESON, were yet living, how would he not Ting out his stir ring German utterances against the traitors of the South ? All his descendants, we are glad to state, are espousing the cause of LINCOLN and JOHNSON. VOTERS OF BUCKS I you ought to do bet ter, by five kundred, for the Union cause on Tuesday next than you did in October. You can if you will. Democrats of Bucks, remember that the dying testimony of your great liionAm was igainst slavery. VOTERS of AEAmS I you are surround ed by the graves of thousands of the noble heroes of the Republic, who, in the battle of July; 1863, fell victims to the slave holders' rebellion I Will you, on Tuesday next, so insult their ashes, 'so dishonor their memories, as to vote in sympathy with the traitor-arms that laid them in your soil ? Against such a deed of perfidy and shame, ten thousand quivering, instincts of patriotism and humanity remonstrate. VOTERS OF FRANKLIN ! your beautiful county-seat r. is a pile Of ruins, made so by the torches of those, fiends incarnate, GIL 3IOR and I4zcoAusLANn. Will you, by your suffrages on Tuesday next, endorse - tbat deed of diabolism'? VOTERS OF CIAII3ERLAND I your county town, Carlisle, in the memorable summer of 1863, was raked with shot and shell by the ruffian hordes -of- EARLY. - Will you, on Tuesday next, by your ballots, say that thos& bullets were deserved by you ? THE PATRIOTS of Luzerne county de serve the credit of having published the names of all deserters from the draft in hand-bills, so as to prevent them from voting at elections, and this expedient kept four or ftve hundred men from voting againsrthe Union ticket on the eleventh of October. Our friends in York, Cumber land, Perry, Franklin; 'Fulton, and in all of the northern and northwestern borders should not fail to follow this admirable example. IRISHMEN ! - You who are appealed to by those who have heretofore led the Na tive Americans and Know-Nothings, and who are now the veriest apologists for slavery, whdre do you think `DANIEL O'CoNNELL's sympathies would be if he were alive ? The great Liberator, the fear less Abolitionist, the hater of every form of human servitude, would stand appalled at the spectacle of those who still con tinue to worship his name—and class him among the saints, to be forever remem bered—giving their active support to the only party in the civilized world that justi fies the right, of one man to own another. HAVE the Irishmen ever recollected that the leaders of the Southern rebellion with probably a single exception, have always been against emigration, and hence against naturalization, and that, in the event of their success, the adopted citizen would soon be as degraded as the slaves them selves ? GERMAN s every American that has visited Germany since the beginning of our war with slavery returns deeply impressed with the strong sympathy of the German people for our cause, and yet there are many who live amongst us who do not hesitate to support the so:called Demo cratic candidate for the Presidency, know ing that his success would-be the down fall of our free-institutions. THE Tribune warns 'our friends that frauds are intended in the mining region of Pennsylvania, saying that it has re ceived notice of an extensive and evidently preconcerted emigration of aliens to that quarter. We can manage our mining dis tricts. In October, coal and iron and oil went for .the :Union ; in November, wheat and corn will do as well. Wn PRINT conspicuously an important order from General COUCH, commanding this Military Department, which should be read and acted, upon by all the officers of election in this and in other districts. From this order it will be perceived that refugees, deserters from the rebel lines, and citizens of States in rebellioDavho are now within this Department, or who may enter it before the Bth day of November, must re port td the nearest district or town Provost Marshal, that they may be registered, and receive proper certificates and papers. This is in accordance with a similar order from .General Dix in the New York De partment, and should not be overlooked by the officers of the several election districts throughout the State. Tax BlOST.positive men in these warlike times are' the returned soldiers of the Re public ; the most, turbulent are the men vho did not volunteer,!md never intended to go into -the service. The friends of riot come from •this latter "class. Let this fact be borne in mind on Tuesdak next SINCE General SIIERMAN said that he thought Mr. LINCOLN had done the best he could, the Copperheads have ceased to quote him as an admirer of MCCLELLAN. He can certainly have no agreeable recol lection of the commander who sent him to .command the Benton Barracks at St. Louis. IT is announced that CALEB CeSIXING not vote for MCCLELLAR CUSHING cannot forget - his -early anti-slavery edu cation. TNE , Wprid tells yua that the eoldiers of the army are , uiLanimotislyfor MeOLELLAN. Which army Copperhead Toe:Um The system of electioneering among the Copperhead leaders at the present time is without precedent or parallel. For the old maxim of justice and honesty, they employ a new motto—cc falsehood, the whole false hood, and nothing but falsehood:" . Ob serve their tactics : 1. Denunciation of every act of. the Go vernment, though it is *patent to the world that our Government , has been striving suc cessfully to preserve the Union. 2. Studied disparagement of every vic tory obtained by the national armies ; ex aggeration of rebel successes, and ostenta tious candor toward rebel generals ; vitu peration of Union leaders ; apologies or si lence for rebel excesses and cruelties. Me the World's insinuation that GRANT, SHER MAN,• and SnitmoArt have accomplished nothing whatever ; the ruffianly attacks labelled " Beast Butler," " boorish tai lor," "vulgar railsplitter," "Brute Stan ton," iS:;c., &c., not sparing even the gal lent Democrats who support the doyen"- anent. Vide the almost eulogy of rebel generals and statesmen; the journalistic treatment of our prisoners, at Anderson vile, Ga., &c., :3. Incendiary appeals to the poor and ignorant; dead and exploded falsehoods put together tofrighten those who do not read the newspapers—the story about the draft, the bugbear of the national debt-- unpn. all of which rests the stamp of official and historic denial. A Point for the Soldiers. • Yesterday, a large 'Union meeting was held at Germantown. A number ,of sol diers present were arguing the Presidential question. One stalwart fellow, the'only McClellan, man of a dozen, who had in dulged a trifle too much in his favorite be verage, displayed with pride a McClel lan badge on his coat. " You can't buy it from me ; you can't steal it from me ; you can't take it from me," was his chal lenge to his comrades. Result—it was taken from him. Still good-humored, the gallant fellow, finding force no use, tried argument. At this point a little fellow on crutches stepped up to him, and, taking him by the button, thus delivered himself : " Now, its no use talking about IIIoCLELLAN. We're all sound on. him as far as is necessary. But_ we can't go, PENDLETON. There's the Congressional Globe; that can't lie. [Mc Clellan boy—": Yes it can; thel'e never was a paper that didn't. ".] No sir, it can't. The Globe hasn't any chance to lie. Now, I've read it, and I know that PENDLETON voted against raising our pay. He voted against giving us clothes. He voted against our victories. Ile voted against the army up and doion, straight out, and all the time. Now, if you, want to • make him Vice President, all right But I don't vote for him, not if twenty McCriELLA:Ns were with him." What reply this argument had we do not know, but every soldier but one applauded it. The Difference. When•QUANTRELL, the God-abandoned rebel. guerilla, with his band of affiliated cut-throats, murdered in cold blood nearly every male citizen of Lawrence, in Kansas; when GILMOR 'and McCAusuavu, avow edly nothing more than profane and daring outlaws, applied the incendiary's torch to the unprotected dwellings of the quiet and unoffending inhabitants of Chambersburg —where then was the virtuous indigna tion of DITMA.R, ZEMIN, HEMPHILL, LEI SEEPING, and the other managers of the various so-called " Democratic clubs ?" Pent up, with scarcely a pore in the 'cork to ;admit of, evaporationl No reward of $l,OOO was then offered for the detection and punishment of the blood-thirsty in cendiaries and assassins On the contrary; these self-styled "Democratic" managers either silently winked at their atrocities or openly justified and defended them! Now, when a solitary citizen, in a street brawl, is accidentally killed, by whom - none can tell,. behold the bottles of their wrath are sud denly uncorked, and their contentslet loose upon , the world ! Oh, what hYpo crisy ! Dougherty. After a• canvass in this and other State of unexampled energy and eloquence, DANIEL - DOUGHERTY will, this evening, speak, under the auspices of the Union League, at the Academy of Music. His appeal to the people of New York, at the Cooper Institute, last night, Was, from all accounts, one of extraordinary power. At a time - when so many Catholic Irish men allow themselves to be seduced into the support of what is falsely called the Democratic ticket, it is worth recording that - a man like DOUGHERTY, the son of an Irish Catholic, and himself a Catholic, should, wherever he goes, be welcomed by the first men among the American peo ple. His speech at Faneuil Hall, Boston, was listened to by the ablest intellects of the Athens of America, and he aroused a feeling that recalled the days when DA NIEL WEBSTER himself addressed his own people. The Irishmen of Philadelphia should make of this man an example and an idol. Born in poverty, almost Without an education, he hai been the architect of his own fortune. Devoted to his church, he has never, for a single 'moment hesi tated in his devotion to country. Every Union man and woman should -lis ten to his address,to-night. , • TEE letter of Hon. HENRY G. STEBBINS, of New" York; published in TnE mss of yesterday, is one of the manliest utterances of the times. Colonel STEB33INS is himself a type of the genuine Democrat and gen tleman. Elected to Congress without seek ing the office, he entered the House of Representatives with a heart beating for his country, but had not long occupied his seat before he discovered that the lea,clers of his party were committed, body and soul, to the rebellion. Too upright to give them his. support, he was too proud to re tain a position and to vote against those to whom he owed his election, and he there fore resigned his place and took his stand under the flag of his country, avowing his purpose to co-operate with the frien.ds of Mr. LINCOLN. Here now is one of those examples which, like the star in the firma ment that guides the mariner along the pathless deep, should arouse 'the •Convic tons of all honest men and lead them away from wrong. Colonel STEBBINS is a gentleman of immense fortune, rare ac quirements, and lofty personal character. If he had chosen to act with the present 'Democratic leaders they would have show- . ered honors and offices upon him ; but he preferred to sacrifice office to his stein sense of public duty, and is once more in private life, where he will aiways.be loved and respected by honest and patriotic men. --- TEE party marshalled at Chicago has been a cover for conspiracy and an: apolo gist for insurrections. Witness the recent confession of one of the most eminent De mocrats of the Opposition in Indiana. Witness the history of the past four years. shall we call the present opposiiion to the Government a bugbear, while we remem ber that the South . is in arms against us ? TER Harrisburg Telegraph states that, in the - guard-house at Camp Curtin, there Were fifty-two votes for MCCLELLAN and ten for LINcoLN. The Telegraph, adds that " the guard-house is filled with . bounty jumpers," Wily rs rr that no successful general in the army or admiral in the navy is:found complaining of the Administration. ? Sue: Bess gives men the right to complain, and our successful soldiers and sialors *are the loudest in favor of Mr.. Lurcol.s.- IF MCCLELLAN Is elected, how long will it be before GRANT is sent to Trenton, - and FITZ JOIIN PORTER made a Lieutenant General,?' IF WE unite these States around the flag of the Union, how long will NAPOLEON plot in the ttilleries for the recognition• of, the Confederacy ? When we are,; united ourselves, we can defy our enemies abroad. Tun war, so Inve7l decried by the Oppo sition, eating itself Democratic, is carried on mainly and direCtly by Democrats. GRANT, SHERMAN, SHERIDAN, HOOKER, HANCOCK, DIX, STANTON, HOLT, are all Deniocrats, and all consistent supporters of the Government TnE leading Union men of the South, those whose heart and mind place them in the advance of opinion; cordially sustain, the policy of the Government. These are men who have lived in the midst of the rebellion, citizens of Alabama, Georgia, .Mississippi, Louisiana, and Arkansas—such men as Ex-Senator CLR2trENS, Rev. Dr. •BRECKINRIDGE, Judge DURANT, Judge Mmreny, Hon. Mr. Fxsni3Ack, General GANTT, Governor HAHN, and Many others, the foremost men of the New South, not to mention the progressive men of Tennessee and Maryland. •All these men were earnest Democrats, and are now true and earnest representatives of the loyal feeling in the South. TEIE Chicago Democracy have persistently opposed the efforts of all loyal Southerners. As the files of Copperhead newspapers will show, • they have been intemperately ridi culed, sneered at, and abused. The South ern man who has emerged from rebellion with the loss of all his property, but still With the earnest desire to restore his State to the bas only received the lash from the bands of the limp Democracy, .be cause, having suffered, he dared to utter the truth I The Copperhead leaders have en deavored, by all means, to beat back the native Southern spirit of reform., which it has cost us thousands of lives and wounds to emancipate. They have resisted every salutary measure which Southern Unionists have approved, and excluded from their feast and company every Southerner brave enough to serve the Government of the United States. They have denied to the Union men-of the South even the necessary means of defence which the rebel Govern thent now threatens to'employ in the enlist ment and emancipation of slaves. I"NsTEAD of seeking strength with the progressive Union men of the South, and basing its platform on the experience of men who have learned their lesson's of loyal devotion amid the terrors and persecutions of rebel tyranny, 'the - Chicago Convention applied to open and defiant rebels for sug gestion and sympathy, and scorned and set aside the prayers, tears, sacrifices, and ago nies of the men who suffered in East Ten nessee, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Mis sissiPpi, Georgia, and Alabama, for the holy cause of Union and. Liberty. There were negotiations with rebels, but none with Southern Union men SANDERS, the patron of the St. Albans thieves—laoL COMßE, the mouth-piece of JEFFERSON DA -us—these were the men invited to confer ence at Niagara Falls, and their ultimatum became the basis of the Chicago platfdm. What a picture is this! A party ostenyibly pledged to restore the Union basing its doc trine on the perfidy of its scornful enemy ! THE Chicago platform is denounced and even anathematized by the Union men of the South, who have suffered most for their faith. On the contrary, every rebel looks to it with hope. JEFFERSON DAVIS declares that it must be sustained by the defeat of the Union armies, as the best chance .yet held out for Southern independence.- At, Bx.ANDER H. STEPHENS approved it as `a means for the instant recognition of the Confederacy, and then for a convocation of the States, which the South may enter at will and secede from at pleasure These facts are patent to every reading man in the North. THE leading advocates of the Chicago platform are men formerly without honor and influence in the Northetm ranks of the Democracy. VALLANDIGHAM, WOOD, POOR iu CHAUNCEY BURR, INGERSOLL and others some of them the bitterest foes to Democratic principles hereto fore -- these are the false and fatal prophets who invite their blind and misguided adherents to the catastrophe of a, revelation more hideous than that of the Veiled Prophet of Khorasan—a pedce full of war and anarchy; a reform rife with untold ruin, multiplying the evils of war by hesitanby and bad faith ; a var, if war be possible, waged on Southern principles by Northern men,' giving all the South asks, and granting nothing which the loyal orth demands ; a change which substitutes the grave of nationality for the battlefield of the Union! • TEE CHICAGO PLATFORM, whosevital re solution was written by VALLANDIGHAM, and endorsed by all the leaders of the so-called Democracy, is false to every stand ard of Democratic principle. It does not say one word in favor of the Monroe doctrine, or against foreign intervention, dismisses the cause of .the soldier with contemptuous pity, and declares the Ra tional wax of self-defence to be a failure and a disgrace. This is the platform of those Democrats who; professing to be in the interest of General MCCLELLAN, _called on Lord LYONS to seek for foreign intervention. It is the doctrine upon which Gen. MeCLELLAivis position is based, and of which WOOD and SEYMOUR, the most active and the ablest of his Northern supporters, claim that he will be the obedi ent instrument. ' THE Chicago platform and its candidates are opposed by the friends of liberty through out the world; by the factory operatives and poor men of Great Britain, as well as the Union men of the South. BRIGHT and COBDEN are its enemies ; ROEBUCK and LINDSAY are its friends. The rebels in arms huzza for 'it; the persecuted poor man of the South curse it' These are facts which are part'of every day's news. Tan doctrine of the new Democracy is an insult to the intelligence of every well meaning man of the party. It asks the foreign-born eitizeif:to take the side of his European oppressors ; it asks the Ameri can to become the foe of liberty and the champion of rebellion. It asks of all pa triots to abandon everything which they formerly considered patriotism. Tats, trumpet-call to victory is from the New York Times : "Union men must thoroughly understand this des perate, determined action, and meet it with the same energy and vigilancelhat our soldiers practice in the crisis of their campaign. Every possible Union vote should be secured ; every possible chance of fraud should be guarded against. What is wanted is not simply a 'victory. A bare victory, so far as regards the highest worth of victory, would be little better than an actual defeat. It will be without moral effect. It would do little or nothing toward prostrating the spirit of the enemy. There must be not merely a victory, but a rout. Copper headisin In every State must be swept down, and with such force that all the world shall see it can never rise again. . A deed like that would strike such dismay into the rebellion that it could never rally with any vigor. Just that overwhelming tri umph is possible next Tuesday. In the name of the country, whose existence is at stake, let every loyal Man do his utmost to secure it." THE Tribune thus disposes of SEYMOUR'S Bobadil proclamation "Governor Seymour has an intense disposition for mischief, if he has not the power or the courage. Ills proclamation, *filch we print this morning, if it means anything is meant as a signal for riot and bloodshed. A proclamation from the Governor of this State is of force only in this State, and can apply nowhere else. Whatever he may think of military interference with elections in States semi rebellious, whether there it Is justified or not by the presence of open and known rebels, he knows per fectly well that in the State of New York there can be no possible danger of anysuch interference, un less the action,of his own 'friends 0 either at home or coming from Canada, shall malZe it imperatively necessary." THE New York Tribune sends us this' piece of information, which we gladly cir. culate : "We are requested , to state that upon each - of the • sheets of the Lincoln Electoral Tickets , for Pennsylvania, furnished by the State Central Committee, there are foriptwo tickets, but upon five of these forty•two there is a typographical error in the name of Mr. Coates. It is printed <rn, those five' CI. Morrison Coates, but should be G. Morrison Coates, as it is on the other thirty-, seven. The Pennsylvania papers should give no of this error," We have already noticed this error and 'mentioned it to, the . Committee. Ne pre sume it has been corrected. THE PRESS.-PHILADRLPHIA; FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1864: The commercial crisis in England has commenced a few months earlier than it was looked for. Four joint-stock banks have failed, great mercantile houses are toppling over, commission merchants are avowing their insolvency, manufacturers cannot find money to pay their hands, and have parted with the goods which they had on hand ; shippers are involved in the general ruin, and the discount hduses have sheaves _of bills in their tills, the drawers and acceptors of which are worth a trifle less than no thing. Nor is this all the names on good many of these bills have been foried! or represent fictitious persons, and the fail'- , tires which every mail from England .re ports are for unusually large amoun4,lll' consequence of the vast speculations into which the parties now prostrate rushed with reckless avidity. Among the traders who have failed for the largest amounts, and whose creditors will receive the smallest dividends, are sympathizers with the South, who have gone largely into the Confederate loan, trusting that success in the contraband - trade of running the blockade would make them millionaires. For such no honest man can have pity or consid.eration, but we may express our regret that a heavy cloud should bang over the commercial prospects of England, and that at a seaso n when the working classes there are gene rally badly employed and poorly paid. The distress in Lancashire has immensely in creased, and worse may be looked for during the coming winter months now at hand. The tornado which has commenced will do much fifrther mischief ere it pass away. It is certain, however, that the present commercial laid monetary difficul ties in. England are the surest guarantees against any interference, by her Govern-. ment, with American affairs. The presence of so distinguished ;1 Southerner as the Hon. JEREAIIAIi CLEM ENS, late Senator of Alabama, attracted great and very attentive audience to Con cert Hall last evening. The speech. of Mr. CLEMENS mqde a deep impression upon his ...hearers, for it was, in fact, the rebellion witnessing against itself—the Union men of the rebel States bringing testimony against the ChicagO Patform and Gen. lleCL'ar, LAIL Those who desire to know how best to serve `_the true interests ,of• the South should read Senator CLEMENS' argument. Voting men, hear this convincing witness ! WHEN will Pennsylvania's wealth reach a limit ? Coal oil has added nearly a hun dred millions to her revenues, and now we are to have a new staple in tow. Friends, shall this glorious State, so rich, so grand, so illustrious, so self-denying, be; delivere.d over to the Southern Confederacy which Mr. REED and Mr. HUGHES were anxious to extend over the Keystone in 1801 ? TO-MORROW EVENING the Century Club intend to commemorate, in the city of New ,York, the seventieth birthday of the great American poet, WILLIAM CULLEN BRYAIO, It will be a tribute to one of the most ear= nest and effective poets of our country. Original poems will be recited by LoNo- FELLOW, HOLMES, and Bo an. Last even. ing Mr. BonEn left Philadelphia to parti cipate in this imposing ceremony, and we think we may promise one of his most in spiting effusions. A CARD of the Associated Press, ad dressed to the Chairmen of the County Committees of both parties, asks their co operation in obtaining an early and correct estimate of the Presidential vote for publi, cation on the morning after the election. The agents of the Associated Press dis played extraordinary, energy in collecting and arranging the returns of the late State election, and deserve credit for their en terprise and success. They now, ask that the vote sent should be accompanied by a comparison with the vote in October, showing the gains or losses in each county r It is unnecessary to add that in this re: quest they are earnestly joined by all the daily papers connected with the Associated Press in. Philadelphia— IF MCCLELLAN IS elected, we are to have "no more taxes." This, of course, means repudiation. >Look at your greenback, and then look at your ballot. IF WE' do our duty during the few hours that remain, and see that every Union man votes, leloOLErtax will not receive a single electoral vote. It is not enough to, re-elect LlNoolac. We must do so unanimously: Tan Baltimore platform appeals• to the loyalty and courage of the American pea ple—the Chicago platform, to their cowarcl.- ice and disloyalty. Ameribans, choose what platform you will accept on Tuesday next. " PRESIDENT " DAVIS :has robbed the Yankees of their Thankagllfint• Day by asking his rebel followers to give gianka on, the 16th of November. New 'England ideas will rule the continent, whether• theie is war or peace, union or disunion. THE Copperheads now find it their policY to speak disparagingly of our armies. The World assures us that GRANT'S campaign against Richmond is ended, that Suzum - A.u 4 ,s conquest of Atlanta is of no militatjval4, and tbit SgEumAn's splendid victories are altogether fruitless of results 1 This is the way to make Copperhead votes. THE• Herald occasionally hays a trip thing, something in this fashion : • • " The Democratic journals attack Lieut. General Grant and his major generals. What le Grant doing 1 Is he fightirg against the Government 1 Does be seek to break up the Union 1- No ; heils undoubtedly fighting for the Government eats• blished by George Washington. And Jeff Davis az d Lee, who have all the sympathy of these same Democratic journals, which Bide are they on 1 Are they fighting to save the Government of the United States 1 No ; they are seeking to destroy it." TEM interests of labor are with the Union. Every hard-fisted, brown-bronzed workingman finds in the Government his true and indulgent friend. Those who en deavor to frighten him with taxation should_ show him what his taxes will' be if . MO CIALLAIT is elected. Now he is asked to. pay a debt justly contracted in the defenecr, of the Union. Under McCuraziar, he . have to pay the Confederate debt as w ell McCrumax regards the war as a failure. Friends and brothers of the army and naVY, remember that the platform of this man.ja an insult to you. SEvatotra threatens war unless the se cessionists are allowed to carry New Tork over to the enemy: If Gov. BEYMOTIR and his friends arc anxious to fight, they can be accommodated at Petersburg. If pen. GRANT 'Will not, Gen. LEE certainly will. The Presidential Election—Publication AGENCY OF THE NEW YORKASSOCIATED Palms, PIIILADELYRIA, November 3, 1864. To the Chairmen of the County Committees of both parties • In order to insure more aorreot and complete returns of the ensuing election for publication lathe papers of Philadelphia and all the principal jour nals throughout the loyal States, the Associated Press respectfully request the assistance of the chairmen of the different political committees of the several counties.

C., NOV. 3, 1864 Five more days and the American people will be called upon to discharge the most momentous duty ever entrusted to man kind—the duty of electing a ruler to con tinue the prosecution of the war for the preservation and perpetuation of a free Government While my faith is unshaken that they will succeed in this great effort, it is due to the truth to say that their adver saries are resolved to contest every inch of ground, and to resort to the most wicked means. They know that the triumph of the Union party will close the, war, con .solidate the Republic and overwhelm the rebellion, and they know also that the result of this great, work will make the American people the strongest nation in the world You must not therefore be surpriied at any act that may be attempted by these desperate men; but you must be on the alert ; for if it is necessary for the army and the navy to watch and to strike the foe, it is even more necessary that those to whom the Presidential electiom has been confided should be equally vigilant and determined. A bold frbnt and an un sleeping watchfulness should be steadily observed. Mr. Seward's notice to the people that an attempt will be made to set fire to the great cities of the North on the day of the election, is not the admonition of fear, but of caution and foresight The emissaries of .treason may be found in every loyal community. They swarm in New York, they harbor in Philadelphia. Threatening us from the sea, invading us constantly on the far Northern and the far Northwestern frontiers, and finding auxiliaries and sym pathizers in, our most popular cities, they Will undoubtedly seize the first opportunity to perpetrate some new and unparalleled outrage at the very moment when we are unprepared. Clustering in Canada, they send marauding expeditions into quiet New England towns, and hanging on the outskirts of our undefended Territeries, they excite the Indians to the most inhurnan.bar barities and apply the torch to the dwellings Of innocent settlers. This is not the time to ask what dreadful spell has fallen upon what is called the Democratic party, that these fiendish atrocities should not only not have induced that party to cut loose from the authors of these crimes, but should have stimulated it to active co-operation with.them. Enough for us that we'know* it rs so, and that "FOREWARNED, WE SHOULD BE FOREARMED.': Thank God ! the Government is on the qui Dive. Its agents are armed . with full instruc tions to detect and capture all those who contemplate the dislocation of so ciety and the destruction of public and private.property, but it as to the great body of the loyal r eople that the Government looks for unceasing and ever-wakeful aid. The reckless and wretched tools of the traitors in your midst do not know the dreadful fate that awaits them if caught in any act of violence now believed to be in preparation ; but it is right that the party leaders and traitorous preachers of the re bels should know in advance that they cannot be safe in such an event. No act of prenzeditated violence, from the beginning of the war, Can be laid at the doors of the friends of the Bepublie. They did not be gin this direful conflict. The attack of the Baltimore mob upon the Massachusetts soldie,rs, in April of 1861, was not their act. The New York riot, so full of unutterable shame to those who fomented it and of anguish to those who suffered from it, was not their act. And with a keen consciousness of This fact, the enemies of law and*order should know that these friends of the Union are to-day ready for any fate ; that, feeling the justice of their own cause, and inspired by the knowledge that they have none of the guilt of the war upon their hands, they will resent insult, and punish riot and disaffection, at whatever cost of property and life. I write to you to implore all the ,good men and good women who may read these - lines to leave no effort untried to save themselves and their country in the short period that intervenes between now and._ the day of the election. Especially should those who have charge of the public edifices, who are in command of arsenals, magazines, and navy yards, be wary and watchful. The American Republic is on its trial before the world ; on its trial in the field of battle, and in the forefront of its trial at the ballot box, and if the American people aie as true to therhselves as they have heretofore been, the sequel will be. the grandest political and military triumph of any age, and the assured re-establish ment of their institutions on a basis as firm as the eternal hills.

TAISIAES FOR, 11EFMIEVENCE STATISTICS OF THE TOTES OF 1860, ISO, AND 1801. Analysis of Union and Opposition Majorities. States Certain and Probable for Linealn. The reAilection of President Litwin we consider certain. We know that it admitted as inevitable by his opponents. Nevertheless to - afford the Public a fair opportunity of judging of the chances of the rival candidates, we have prepared the following statistics of the election of MO, and the elections subsequent. The figures are facts, and cannot be denied. They prove enough, without a word of com ment ; but still we have given our own conclusions, which no one is bound to admit, but which we pre dict will be found very near to the truth: Presidential Vote oflB State- California Connecticut... Illinois Indiana 8.616, 15,11 1,023 160.215 115,x09 65,111 5,65 26,60 Keranclry Maine Maryland Masaachuectta Michigan Irfinnehota.... Missouri Now Jersey... New York....

Vermont - Wisconsin .... 1. The States now loyal, then carried by Lincoln, are California, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, lowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampahlre, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylva nia, Rhode Island, Verment i Wisconsin- 7 in all, seventeen. Those which cast their electoral votes agalast him are Delaware, kentuoky, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey—in all, five. 2. But in twelve of these States, California, Con necticut, Illinois, Indiana, lowa, Maine, Massachu setts, Michigan, New Hampshire, Ohio, Vermont, and Wisconsin, the strongest candidate opposed to Mr. Lincoln was Douglas. Now, two-thirds of the Douglas vote has been given to Lincoln in 1863-4. In PennsYlvania the Fuelon ticket makes It impossible to give the full vote for Douglas; 16,765 were cast dire ctly for him, and of the Fusion votes the majority were not for Breck- Inridge. The Douglas Democrats of Pennsylvania have, since 1860, carried the State for Lincoln and Curtin in all important elections. 3. In, four States, Kentucky, Maryland, Massa chusetts, Missouri, Bell polled - a heavy vote. At least one-half of it will how be given to Lincoln. WORD OE COMMENT, Ignoring the fact that the war has destroyed the old party lines, the' New York Herald takes the table of npo,. above .printed, and argues that the united yetis - for the Breckinridge, Douglas, and Bell tickets show a popular majority of 103,823 against Lincoln. Nothing could be more absurd than thlicalculation. True, the united votes of the three tickets exceed the votes for the Lincoln ticket by 103,823, but this majority was not oast against any oneman. The Douglas men voted against Breckinridge more than against Lincoln. The Bell men voted as much against Breekinridge as agai o nst Lincoln. The Breekinridge men voted solid against all three of the other candidates. Thousands of men who then voted for Douglas, declared that, if he were not in the field, they would support Lincoln. The admitted fact that the Douglas party bitterly hated the Breckinridge faction, and sympathized far more with the Lincoln party, shows how greatly the Herald has perverted arith metic in adding up the votes of three rival parties, and casting than as a unit against the fourth. IMPORTANT ELECTIONS SINCE 1860. The Presidential vote in the, loyal States in 1860 is not, however, a fair basis by which to estimate the Presidential vote of 1864. The rebellion revolu tionized politics in the North. Hundreds of thou sands who voted against Lincoln then, sustain him now. .Thousands of leading men who opposed his election, now support his Administration, and de clare the importance of maintaining it in power. Almost every Douglas Democrat obeys the dying request of his leader, and stands by the Govern mentOrrespective of former party ties. This com plete reorganization of parties has changed the po• character of every State, and it is therefore necessary to base our calculations for the Presi dential election of 1864 upon the vote for State officers, In doing this, we select those elections in which the issues of this canvass were involved, and give, as far as possible, the State elections of 1864. We publish first the majorities in 1863, for in many States no important elections have been held this year. The political condition which the following table shows, has been changed materially, but all the changes are in favor of the Union ticket TATTLE Or MAJORITIES IN 1863. Data Union.

The complexion of the Legislature of 1883-54 is 8.1 for Emancipationists to 49 Democrats. . , t In this election Gilmore (U.) lost 4,372 votes, given to Harriman (War]).) Gilmore was elected by the Le gislature. This is a case which shows that the elec tions or ]863 do not thoroughly show the present politi cal status, for Gilmore was re-elected this year by aboat six - thousand majority. § In 1862 Oregon gave between throe and four thou sand. Union majority for. Governor. MAJORITIES sir 1864. The nearer we can come to this Presidential elec tion, in repotting State votes, the firmer is our ba sis of calculation. Fortunately, no less than eleven States have voted on the great issues of this canvass in 1864. These are Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Oregon, Oall fornia, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Maryland, Ohio. Every one of them has gone 'decisively for the Union, The folloWing are official majorities : Union. Opp. Vermont ' 19,365 New Hampshire 5,398 Maine 15,913 Connecticut 5,488 Rhode Island 1,533 Oregon 2,76 In Rhode Island the straight Union ticket had 8,835, against 7,302 War Democrat. But it is to be noted that an Independent Union ticket was ran; which polled 1,329 votes. In round numbers the following States gave ma jorities : _ California.... Pennsylvania Ohio Indiana Maryland.... Here are figures for those thatlove thOm. Eleven States voting this year give Union majorities so large that no Opposition efforts can possibly over come them. The Copperhead falsehood that any underhand measures are needed to-carry these States for Lincoln is plainly false, for if any party needs cheating to help it, It is the Opposition. All the figures aro dead against its hopes. THE ELECTORAL VOTE. 2. There are some differences in the electoral votes of 1880 and 1884 which mnst be considered. The following table shows the differences : Connecticut...: California Delaware Illinois Indiana lowa Kentucky Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota Missouri New liampahlre New Jersey New York Ohio Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island Vermont Wisconsin West Virginia Kansas Nevada 3 3 . 11 16 .... 13 13 4 8 .... 12 11 7 .... 13 12 . 6 8 4 .... 9 7.7. .... 6 5 .... 35 33 23 21 8 3 17 26 4 4 5 5 5 8 0 5 0 3 0 8 Total West Virginia, Nevada, and. KansaS were admit ted as States since 1860. Of the 284 electoral votes, us are necessary for a choice. Let us now see, by reference to the previous returns -of States certain for Lincoln, of how many Votes he is sure : • California Connecticut Indiana ...... lowa 8 Kansas a Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota New Hampshire • 5 New York.. as Ohio Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island Vermont Wificonsill, West Virginia Nevada' • 186 The result gives him 68 more than is required to elect him. But he is likely to gain mor e — an d 11. The following are States probable for Lincoln: Missouri , 11 Illinois 16 Gaining these, he has 213 votes-95 more than are Deeded. 111.

In conclusion, we find that to state the matter broadly, and without exaggeration, the Union party, Since 186 k, has controlled twenty. States, giving an aggregate of 186 electoral votes. We Lind that the Opposition can, with any plausibility, claim enemas in but 5 States, New Jersey, Delaware, Kentucky, Missouri, Illinois, Thus a calculation, based on figures alone, assures us of triumph. We need not here go further. It Is foreign to our present purpolie to point out that the platform of the Chicago Conven• tion, the nomination of Pendleton, the association of McClellan with Vallandigham,_Wood, Seymour, the Independent - Course -of the Cincinnati °maven. tion, the approval of rlYloClellan , ii nomination by the rebels, the support he has, had from oar ene mies in Europe, the comparison of the recent victo. ries of Grant, Sheridan, and Sherman, ,wlth his failures, his own vacillating political coarse, are facts which have disorganized his party: But these feats will have an influence on the vote in every State, and no man can say , how far they will in crease the majority for Lincoln and johnson, and consolidate the Unionism of the twentpitve loyal Stated. PENNSILVANI&. We had intended to have printed with this article a statement of the Pennsylvania , vote by counties, by which the public might anticipate and compare the relult on Tuesday. But we have not yet the full official returns, and postpone the publication of our Pennsylvania tables until to-morrow, when we hope to give a fuller statement than is now possible. We may say here that our friende, when they tele graph to us the returns-of the election on Tuesday, in townships or counties, will confer a special favor by giving the loss or gain coMpared with the October vote for Congressmen.

JONES, was commenced to-day before the United States Military Commiassion, of which Gen. Downtimes is President, and Col. J. A. FOSTER, Judge Advo cate. Messrs. R. H. GILLETTE and J. D. McPßEasort appear as counsel for the prisoner& The above.named parties, together with Rusvus and SCHOFIELD, are charged with conduct prejudi. Wei to good order and military discipline, and of fraud towards the New York elections, in that they forged the names of officers and soldiers to what purported ,to be the ballots of said soldiers, to be used at the election to be held on Tuesday next. They axe also charged with falsely and fraudu . lordly issuing papers and sending blanks which purported to be signed by officers and soldiers in the military service of the United States, autho, rizing certain parties to cast their votes at the ensu. lag State and national election, with the intent. to defraud the true elector of his ,rights. Mr. Gillette, one of the counsel for the prisoners, pleaded to the jurisdiction of the court, arguing that the court had no jurisdiction ; first, over the parties ; second, over, the subject matter ; third, that the matter was not -within the jurisdiction of the National Government; fourth, that it was a subject over which the National Government had never legislated ; anti fifth, that there was no law> of the Federal Government authorizing the jurisdiction of a.military court for the trial of any one not in the service of the - United States. Mr. Gillette argued that the Federal tribunals had not in any way or manner authorized the trial of persons by a Federal court for crimes committed against the laws of any State or. States. If the accused had committed a crime, it was only a violation of a statute of the State of New York, and, consequently, the tribunals of the United States have no jurisdiction. If an offence has been committed, it is against the laws of New York, and that same law prescribes the penalties and modes of trial and punishment. If an offence is committed in any other State against a law of New York, under the extradition law, the party charged with the crime is liable to be taken to New York. If the parties here charged,have not committed a crime against the State of New York, it' must appear, affirmatively, the crime Is one against the statute laws of tho United States, as it has been decided. There can be no offence against the United States unless It is specially made so by sta tute. It is not asserted that the prisoners have commit ted an offence against a statute of New York. There are DO common law offences in the 'United. States, an d It has been expressly ruled that what are common law offences 01 England are not offences against the United States. • No offence such as these prisoners are charged with has been created by a statute of the United. States, and consequently the tribunal has no juris diction. The court cannot assume the jurisdiction, for no power has been conferred upon it to try these cases, and a man cannot be arraigned when it is impossible to put your finger on a law designating the crime. • What would be the effect if this court assumed to execute the laws of the State of New York I Would an acquittal or a conviction stop the mouth and tongue of justice in New York I - Will this or any other tribunal assume to deprive New York of vin dicating her own laws I It matters not what the decision may be here, the State of New York demands the offender, if there is one; and. insists upon receiving him. It is the justice of New York that must overtake these men, if they have been guilty. If any other tribunal tries them what is the mea sure of punishment for theml In all laws there is a punishment for their violation, but what is to be the punishment here I If there is no limit, then there is no boundary beyond which the court cannot go. There are in this matter grave consequences, both to the laws of the country and to the parties charged. It is a theory of all courts that have not a gene. ral jurisdiction, that before they' carry into effect their findings, they must make up the record, and what law can this court Cite, giving them jurisdic tion over this case 1 Will they assume it because it would have been a proper subject for legislation I Mr. Gillette theracited the case of a court martial ordered at Puebla during the Mexican war, by an officer - named Hughes, and he was afterwards mulcted in heavy damages in the district, because the military court had no jurisdiction over the offence charged. The counsel said ho believed in all sincerity this court had no jurisdiction over the case. If the parties charged with a crime had been subject to military duty, the court would then have had jurisdiction. Col. Foster, Judge Advocate,. in reply, said that lithe last argument of Mr. Gillette were true, then a military commission could not try a spy or a gue rilla, for they were not subject to the military-or ders of the.TJuited States. Therright of trial by jury was a right to which all claimed to be entitled, yet a guerilla - could not de mand such a trial, nor could a traitor demand to be conducted in a court before trial. In time of war, certain peace powers were neceisitrily suspended. Col. Foster referred to the case of Vallandigham, and quotedlargely from the decision of the United States Supreme Court upon the application of Mr. Pugh for Vallandigham release, to show they re cognised the fact that in urgent and peculiar cases military courts had full powers and jurisdiction. In all these cases the state and condition of the country must be considered. It is charged the rights of the soldiers have been violated, and as they are in the field, and not in a State where there are recognized courts of law, military tribu nals were the proper ones to take note of the matter. The District of Columbia has been considered as firth. field. The parties charged with the crime here were also considered as in the field, and, cense (penny, assuming that fact, soldiers In the field had been defrauded, and by parties also lathe field, and Amenable to answer to a military court as the only one having a properjurisdiction. At the conclusion of Col. Foster's remarks the court adjourned, at Nr.Gillette's request, until 10 o'clock to-morrow morning. • Entertainment to the Provincial Dele gates at Toronto. TORONTO, 0.

STICH= THEATRB.—The sensation play, entitled " Waiting for the Verdict," performed for the first time in Philadelphia, at Walnut-street Theatre, on Monday, belongs to a peculiar class. Like Douglas Jerrold's "Rent Day" and Bouci cault's "Heart of Midlothian," it was written with the view of presenting on the stage a scenic tableau in which the grouping of a well-known picture is reproduced. Like "Jonathan Bradford" and some similar pieces, the unreliability of circumstantial evidence is the moral point dramatically worked out. The playwright has not done his put very well, yet some of the characters are fairly connived and developed, and the situations are effective. The story is English, and therefore a hit or two at the game-laws may not be out of place. &man is tried for murder, under circumstances of grave sus picion. The trial scene is all but a,fallure, for the evidence, though well delivered by all the witnesses, does not bring out the facts, and the speeches of counsel are feeble in the extreme. The mise-en scene of this act, and, indeed, of the whole play, is good, but we beg leave to say that the two heroes, Jonathan and. Jasper Roseblade, blun der in appearing as moustached English yeo men, and ought to sacrifice their hirsute honors to the reality of the costume. Neither, in any legal court in England, are tho usher and crier fantaetiCally attired In the scarlet and ermined robes worn by the Venetian nobility (of the stage) in "The Merchant of Venice" trial scene. Mr. McKean Buchanan played the part ofJonathan Rose blade, an aged man, with a subdued energy which was at once true and touching. In no one point did he overstep reality, and we must say that we prefer his domestic to his legitimate tragedy. Alias Buchanan had a part which any walking lady could have !played as well—except, perhaps, in the last act. Mr. J. A. Herne, as tho younger Roseblade, acted with spirit and effect. The best -sustained character in the play, however, was that of Jonas Bundle, the real villain of the plot, which was played in a truly artistical, and, therefore,- natural, manner, by Mr. B. Young, a gentleman who evi dently studies the meaning in order to catch the - spirit of every character he personates. Mrs. Charles Henri, who is a decided acquisition to the stock company here, played the part of a village lass, and Mr. S. Hemple was extremely droll, as usual, in the character of Blinßey Brown. There is a good deal of fun in this play, notwithstanding its serious character. It- may be added that the au dience in the second tier and gallery appeared as if, to them, the whole play., bat especially the trial seine, the domestic tragedy in the condemned. cell, *the detection of the true oniprit, and the happy denouement, were real. circumstances, passing be fore their eyes. They audibly expressed their feel ings, from time to time, as these circumstances were developed—and surely, .this is the best proof that the play was effectively performed. The drama will be repeated to-nighton the occa sion of the benefit of Miss Buchanan. CHEBTNVT•STREET THEATRE.—This evening the talented and favorite performer, Mrs. D. P.
